Help needed on Joe D auto.

[Lucas00]

Bought this small lot of 3 autographed note cards. No idea if Joe is Good but I thought it looked fine.

Also included are Bill Virdon and Ernie Lombardi if that's of any interest.


Would love everybody's input!

Hi Lucas,
As with other players, Joe D.'s autograph morphed through the years.

This example does not match either a 1940's exemplar from his days in the military or one that I obtained IP in the late 1970's.

I can't be sure, but I would probably vote no...
Hopefully others will weigh in. Good luck!

Thanks for the Input Scott!

Any other opinions? And What do you all think about the other two?

I don't know if this will help, but here is a vintage steel tip auto from Joe D., circa 30s early 40s, and a later version.

I'm going to vote good, but one never knows.

The Joe D. is probably his sister's sig, but I won't swear to it. The Virdon and the Lombardi are both good.

Be as profane as you wish.

3 Responses 3 different opinions 😆.


Thanks everyone for your help!

I think I'll list it as a likely sister auto as they do look pretty close.

I know this isn't bst, and I won't be asking a price here but if anyone has any interest in adding to their collection feel free to send a pm.

100% agree- this is sister Marie

Thanks everyone! Not the news I wanted but still didn't pay too much for it.

I received similar feedback a few months ago about this one pictured here (i.e., sister's sign.)... to my eyes, your copy and this have very similar features ("DiM")
